Fiona Ma, 2014 candidate for the State Board of Equalization (SBE), will attend the Oct. 17 meeting of Tehama County Democrats.

With redistricting, Tehama County is now part of the North State's coastal SBE district, for which Ma has declared her candidacy to replace termed-out Betty Yee.

Over six years in the California State Assembly, Ma, who represents San Francisco's western half, quickly worked her way to Majority Whip and then to Speaker Pro Tem.

This meeting of the Tehama County Democrats will be held at Lariat Bowl in Red Bluff with a meet and greet at 5:30 p.m. and a presentation by Ma at 6 p.m. The public is invited to attend.
